FASTENING DEV I GE FOR ADJUSTABLE SKI EARS." I

Application filed November 26, 1926, Seria1 No. 150,973, and 'in Norway November 28, 1925,

' This invention has for its object to provide a fastening device for adjustable ski-ears, per,- mitting an easy and sufficient displacement of the ski-ears to correspond to the different 5 sizes' and shapes of boots without necessitating the boring of additional screw-holes in the skis.

A preferred form of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, in

which:

Figure 1 shows a pair of ski-ears, provided with the fastening device forming the present invention.

Figure 2 is a sectional view of one of the .15 ears.

Fig. 3 is a transverse sectional view of a modification.

In the toe-plates-l of the ski-ears a l number of circular, relatively large countersunk holes 2 are stamped or bored. These holes may either be terraced, as shown in thedrawing, orhave a conical form. In the drawing each of the toe-plates .-.-1' is shown provided with two such holes, if desired how- .25 ever three or more holes may be used'for each plate. In said holes -2 circular discs -3 are loosely placed, in which discs holes '-4 for the fastening-screws -5- are eccentrically bored.

It will be seen, thatby loosening the screws 5 and turning the discs the ears may be placed in any desired position (as for instance the position shown by dotted lines in Figure 1), so that the wearer without difficulty and displacement of screws, may easily ad ust the ears in proper position to his boots and then lock the same in this position by simply tighteningthe screws f5.' It may be convenient to provide the 'discs3 with apertures or depressions 6 in which 40 a pointed member may be inserted in order that the discs 3 may easily be turned.

What I claim is V 1. A fastening device for ski-ears co1nprising a toe-plate having an upturned flange,

said plate being provided with a circular aperture, a disk cooperating with said aperture,*and means for securing said disk to the ski, said means being positioned 'eccentrically with respect to said aperture to permit adjust 5 ment of the plate. i 2; A fastening device for ski-ears comprismg a toe-plate'having an upturned flange,

said plate being provided with acountersunk circular aperture, a disk having an under'sur facelcorresponding" to the surface of said countersunk aperture for cooperation therewith, and a fasteningmember for securing said disk to the ski, said member permitting rotation of the disk about the said member and being. positioned eccentrically with .re-

spect to said aperture to permit adjustment of the plate. p

In testimony whereof I havesigned myname to this specification. i RASMUS BERGE.
